I was talking to a couple guys this morning, and all of us have been having trouble with our fuel gauges on our Chevy's the last month or two. The gauges have been staying on full for a long time, and once it reaches half you only have a few gallons of gas left. Many fuel gauges act this way, but I've never seen them act this extreme and I've never seen them change so abruptly (or at all, I guess). Another guy said his '04 Chevy van started out that way, and now stays on "Full" all the time and he has to be very careful not run out of gas.
Anybody else out there having this problem? I'm guessing it has something to do with the winter blend of gas, maybe making the float stick, but I'm not sure.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
